All Chalk and Notch patterns are available in sizes 0-30 with two bust cup options, A/B & C/D. Mini patterns are available in sizes 12 months to 12 years. Check each pattern listing for body measurements and finished garments measurements.

Your sewing bust cup size is likely not the same as your bra bust cup size. Bra cups use your full bust and your underbust measurements to determine the cup size. For sewing cup size, we use the high bust and full bust measurements.

If the difference between your high bust and full bust is between 0” and 2” (5 cm) use the A/B cup. If the difference is between 2” (5 cm) and 4” (10 cm) use the C/D cup. If you have more than a 4” (10 cm) difference, you may need a full bust adjustment. There are details on how to do a full bust adjustment included in the custom fitting section of each tutorial.

Chalk and Notch patterns are designed for a height of around 5’7″ (170 cm). The fit models are 5’7″ (170 cm), but all of the Chalk and Notch patterns are tested on a range of heights, and our fitting posts can help determine how much and where you may need to adjust.
